Railroad ENTERPRISE.

WARE, Mass, May 15.---The track of the
Central Massachusetts railroad was laid to
within short distance of this village last
night. The Boston Il Lowell Company put
down 13 miles of track in eleven days. This
is claimed to be the best work ever done in
theiconstruction of any railroad in the coun-
try. The Boston Il Lowell will run the first
freight train from Boston to Ware over the
Central the coming week, 1t will consist of
nearly 40 cars Of lumber and the plant of the
Otis Company to be used in building the
new cotton mill in this place. The Boston Il
Albany refused to give any land to the Cen
trail Company, and as result the line here
will have to be changed for considerable
distance. This action ON the part of the
Boston & Albany will put the Central people
to about 5000 additional expense.
The first regular passenger train from Bos-
ton to Ware will be run June 10. A single
fare will be $1.50. Three trains each way
will be run daily for the present. Work on
the line from Ware to Northampton is
being pushed rapidly. The new road will
reach tie shire city via Amherst by the end
of September.
